Network Topology and Time Criticality Effects in the Modularised Fleet Mix Problem
James M. Whitacre, Axel Bender, Stephen Baker +3
In this paper, we explore the interplay between network topology and time criticality in a military logistics system. A general goal of this work (and previous work) is to evaluate…
Use of statistical outlier detection method in adaptive evolutionary algorithms
James M. Whitacre, Tuan Q. Pham, Ruhul A. Sarker
In this paper, the issue of adapting probabilities for Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) search operators is revisited. A framework is devised for distinguishing between measurements of…
Credit Assignment in Adaptive Evolutionary Algorithms
James M. Whitacre, Tuan Q. Pham, Ruhul A. Sarker
In this paper, a new method for assigning credit to search operators is presented. Starting with the principle of optimizing search bias, search operators are selected based on an…
Computational Scenario-based Capability Planning
Hussein Abbass, Axel Bender, Helen Dam +3
Scenarios are pen-pictures of plausible futures, used for strategic planning. The aim of this investigation is to expand the horizon of scenario-based planning through computationa…
Strategic Positioning in Tactical Scenario Planning
James M. Whitacre, Hussein A. Abbass, Ruhul Sarker +2
Capability planning problems are pervasive throughout many areas of human interest with prominent examples found in defense and security. Planning provides a unique context for opt…
The Self-Organization of Interaction Networks for Nature-Inspired Optimization
James M. Whitacre, Ruhul A. Sarker, Q. Tuan Pham
Over the last decade, significant progress has been made in understanding complex biological systems, however there have been few attempts at incorporating this knowledge into natu…
